Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel was adequate for a room for one night, it's definitely in need of an update/refresh. The bath was stained and looked dirty (it wasn't actually dirty, just worn/scratched), some of the sealant was mouldy and when we arrived, I was informed that the attached pub/ restaurant weren't serving food, therefore if myself and my children wanted to eat we would have to order a takeaway from a food app. Breakfast was nice the following morning, lots of choice.

Nothing was too much trouble for any member of staff who all would go out of their way to accommodate any requests. The room was neat and tidy with all the usual facilities for hotels of this type. Also the food was excellent from the fresh and plentiful breakfasts to the home-cooked cuisine on offer in the Oak Bar in the evenings. Parking was plentiful and the location is near to major transport links. The hotel is set within a nice, quiet residential area which was ideal for my needs as I was able to read documentation and write reports in my room. I will definitely stay there again if my work takes me back to the north Birmingham area. An excellent stay and I heartily recommend it!

The hotel served a purpose for an overnight stay. For the price paid the bed was comfy & bathroom facilities good. Walls are thin. Could hear snoring & voices in next room.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was acceptable if you are looking for a place to sleep, but that’s about it. The floor was not hoovered as there was fur and excessive hairs on the floor. The couch in the room was stained and did not look too clean either. The receptionist was not too friendly and was staring at me which I found a bit rude…
